Description
The KeepInMind Dashboard Notes WordPress plugin through 0.8.5 does not properly sanitize note content submitted through its REST API, allowing users with a low-privileged role (such as Contributor, where an administrator has enabled it) to store CSS that redresses the administrator dashboard for credential phishing and denial of service; the fix released in 0.8.4.2 addressed only the editor interface and left the REST write path exploitable.
